Redesigning a T-Bird

Now before I start yes I know fine well that the Thunderbird is a much hated instrument here, but I'd like you to put that hate to one side for a minute and help me.

Basically I'd like people to list everything that they find wrong with the bass, and any solutions that they personally think might work, be it moving strap buttons, completely changing electronics, weight, headstock shape, neck, woods etc.
